“…Desde su descripción en el 2011, el modelo perma aumentó su presencia en el discurso psicológico, pero todavía no existe suficiente apoyo empírico del modelo (25). En los últimos años se han presentado estudios que miden este enfoque con ítems de escalas validadas de dimensiones específicas (26)(27)(28).…”

Introducción: en términos científicos y sociales, los estudios sobre el bienestar han sido relevantes en los últimos años, lo que hace necesario investigar acerca de las propiedades psicométricas de los cuestionarios que se utilizan para su medición. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario PERMA-Profiler en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios chilenos. Materiales y métodos: se evaluaron las respuestas de 1462 estudiantes universitarios de una universidad tradicional ubicada al sur de Chile, con una edad media de 19.09 años (DE=1.72). Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, se evaluaron las correlaciones dimensión/total del cuestionario e índices de consistencia interna. Resultados: el análisis factorial reportó la presencia de cinco factores. Se presentaron niveles de correlación moderada, positiva y significativa entre las dimensiones del PERMA-Profiler. Los índices de consistencia de la escala total y de la mayoría de las dimensiones se ubicaron entre α=.65 a .91 y de ω=.66 a .92, a excepción de la dimensión de compromiso. Conclusión: se confirman los cinco factores propuestos en la teoría y un adecuado nivel de correlación entre sus dimensiones y de fiabilidad del cuestionario. El PERMA-Profiler puede ser empleado para la medición de la salud mental de los estudiantes y como una herramienta válida para la evaluación de intervenciones en este contexto.

“…Hence, a future replication and extension should be based on this conceptualization. Current research projects using the PERMA model demonstrate already promising results (e.g., Tansey et al, 2017;Wagner et al, 2020).…”

Authentic Happiness at Work: Self- and Peer-Rated Orientations to Happiness, Work Satisfaction, and Stress Coping

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The authentic happiness theory covers three basic orientations to happiness; namely, the life of pleasure (via hedonism); engagement (via flow-related experiences); and meaning (via eudaimonia). There is broad evidence for a positive relationship between these three orientations and indicators of positive psychological functioning in a variety of life domains. However, their contribution to well-being at work is understudied. The main aim of this study was testing the relationship between self-and peer-rated orientations to happiness, work related well-being (work satisfaction, work stress), and coping strategies. Further possible mediating effects of the coping strategies on the relationship between orientations to happiness and well-being at work were also examined. The sample consisted of 372 German-speaking Swiss adults (60.3% female), aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 38.9, SD = 10.8) with a minimum of 40% fulltime employment. For 100 persons, peer-ratings of the orientations to happiness were available. Our results showed that the life of engagement and, to a lesser extent, the life of meaning are related to work satisfaction. The life of pleasure was associated with lower levels of reported work stress. Further, positive associations between selfand peer-rated orientations to happiness (particularly pleasure) and adaptive coping strategies with stress were also found. Mediation analyses showed that the effects of engagement in general and content-related work satisfaction were mediated mainly by control and negative coping, while the association between meaning and resigned work satisfaction was mediated by positive coping. Negative coping fully mediated the association between the pleasurable life and work stress. Overall, our results indicate that employees' orientations to happiness are of importance for experiencing well-being at work.

“…Past research using the PERMA model found that high PERMA is negatively associated with PTSD, burnout, and depression [ 8 ]. The PERMA model was used to explain life satisfaction as a consequence among those with difficulties in life (e.g., individuals with disabilities) [ 9 ]. Psychological precedents (e.g., PTSD, burnout, and depression) and PERMA were significant factors associated with one another [ 8 ].…”

Emergency workers are frequently exposed to hazardous situations and such life patterns can influence their wellbeing. This study examined the relationships among South Korean emergency workers’ precedents and consequences of positive emotion, engagement, relationship, meaning, and achievement (PERMA), a wellbeing concept, and offered solutions. A total of 597 emergency workers in Daegu, South Korea, participated in a survey. This study measured post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome, burnout, depression, PERMA, quality of life, life satisfaction, and sleep quality to test the relationships. Results demonstrated that post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome and burnout predicted distracting sleep behavior and sleep health. Depression was significantly related to PERMA. The better the emergency workers’ PERMA was, the better their quality of life and life satisfaction were. PERMA significantly predicted sleep behavior, a portion of sleep quality. Depression had an indirect influence on quality of life mediated by PERMA. Post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome, burnout, and PERMA were significant predictors of low sleep health and sleep behavior. The results indicate that South Korean emergency workers struggle with depression and sleep quality. As the data were collected during the coronavirus disease 19 pandemic, individual efforts and relevant programs to improve South Korean emergency workers’ PERMA and sleep quality in a crisis are recommended. Possible solutions to improve the wellbeing of South Korean emergency workers are suggested.
